In Omsk did not have enough money for gas for the Eternal flame

The local Victory Park extinguished the Eternal flame, lit with fanfare last year.

In social networks appeared a photo of an extinct Eternal flame in Victory Park in Omsk. Hawks are surprised, because earlier it was reported that the fire will burn here all the time.

The ceremony of lighting the Eternal flame took place on 8 may 2015 and with great pathos. Bit of fire from the grave of the unknown soldier was brought from Moscow by plane. The very ceremony was attended by all the officials of the municipality and the regional government, sounded a solemn speech. The Governor Viktor Nazarov promised that the fire will burn forever.

And that Eternal flame went out. As it turned out, the reason is very prosaic – no money. In Department of municipal economy said that now the Eternal flame will be lit in the Days of military glory, a total of 17 days a year. In the mayor’s office added that such an unpopular decision was made personally by the Director of the Department, first Deputy mayor Sergei Frolov. With the mayor Vyacheslav Dvorakovsky it is not coordinated.
